When I went out to let the chickens out this morning I almost had a heart attack I forgot to close the silkies up. All were there and accounted for. I don't know how I forgot them...

Makes sense to me I think you have to have something "hatch" to have a hatch rate. :D Oh crap I hear an owl going whoo-whoo out my door yeah, ;) who am I going to eat next? I'm not letting my chickes out yet.

Awwww cute chicks. My chicks have been gone since they hatched except 2 blue silkies some BBS polish and BBS bantam amers. I hatched around 100 chicks, I stopped counting after 70. The chicks were for friends. I did hatch some MF d'uccles to sell, I have a waiting list but my friends DH (who...

All my mothers day chickies are leaving tomorrow except the D'uccles and Silkies. Time to clean the brooder for the batch that just started hatching. So I guess I can do staggered hatches in the redwood bator cuz chicks are hatching tonight and more due 3 days after that. :lol: head more chicks...

You know we love them but they sound like a herd of elephants in the styro bator.

I love reading this thread. It's been so much fun. I stopped counting my chicks at 60 I still have a few late stragglers. Hopefully thy will be dried up and fluffy by morning I need to get the bator cleaned up for the eggs due to hatch on the 17-20 . Then I can unplug my old lg forever now that...

If you got it from me then it's an ameracuna if the egg is blue if the egg is brown it's 1/2 ameracuna. My black roo makes almost all black babies

8 out. 2 dozen pipped and a bunch more chirping and rocking.:D

This is so much fun I have 4 out 11 pipped and more chirping and rocking. On a sad note I bumbled an egg the other day it was smushed I left it unjust in case. I checked it today and the smushed part was hard as cement so I opened it up to find a dead lavender chick, that sucks it was a mix but...

Congrats to everyone having chicks out and those having bad hatches keep trying we have all been there. Also remember sometimes chicks come late I have had soe day 25 chicks before.

Lol I should have said I have 3 out of 109 out. These are not even due until late tomorrow. I think my top self was running a little higher than the bottom shelves. I'm learning a lot using the old redwood bator.

Ihave 3 out 2 of my barnyard mix and 1 d'uccle I think it looks a little dark but the only bantam eggs I had not marked are the MF d'uccles. I have a bunch more pips, my humidity is 65% I hope that is enough. I am doing a "dry hatch" maybe I should have tredmy 1st dry hatch with fewer eggs.

Well said I agree it really depends on your bator. My styro bator needed to be closed most of the time to keep the humidity but in my old redwood bator it gets the humidity back up in less than 5 min. I have pips today if they hatch I will grab the chicks out.

Now I have gone past eggs and I am buying chickens. I bought a frizzled cockerel from pixie chicks and a barred Serama cockerel and 2 pullets in another auction. I just ordered a silkied hen and roo and am bidding on 4 more birds all Serama. Hopefully I won't win them. I'd better stop before I...
